As the saying goes, no matter how rich you are, you can't be rich for three generations. Just as Wei Zhi warned Emperor Taizong-don't be prepared for danger in times of peace, abstain from extravagance and frugality, cut roots for wood, plug up the source and want to flow long. In peacetime, we are often careless, and life is so smooth. Naturally, we don't think of difficulties, but only pursue pleasure and comfort.

Therefore, we must have a sense of urgency and be prepared for danger in times of peace.

There are two groups of antelopes on both sides of the Lancia River in Africa. Surprisingly, the reproductive ability and survival ability of antelopes in the two places are far from each other. Is the variety good or bad? Is it a genetic mutation? Neither. The reason is simple-there are wolves on the east coast. As we all know, wolves are natural enemies of sheep. The law of survival of the fittest in nature keeps the sheep on the east coast always vigilant in order to find the wolves and run hard. In their hearts, they all know the end of backwardness-death. On the other hand, the antelopes in the west bank do whatever they want in their own fields, and have no sense of anxiety and "running for their lives", so that when danger comes, they are unable to resist. It can be seen that living in hardship is the source of happiness, and enjoying ease is the beginning of suffering. If all of us, like the antelope on the west coast, don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, then our future will be dim and fragile, and our nation will lose its spirituality like a cracked land.

Some people say that I just want to "open up wasteland and return to the garden" like Tao Qian, but maybe one day the war will burn your garden; Some people say that I just want to see the clouds in the sky, but maybe one day there will be bloody particles floating in the air ... these are what people call danger in comfort. Maybe, there are many unexpected things, but it's not up to you! Just like a vulture in a cage for four years, it is used to "luxurious food". It never imagined that it would be released one day and starve to death. You can pursue comfort, but the world won't make you comfortable because you want to be comfortable. A person's life should be like a river. Only by accumulating strength in a gentle stream can he cross the hill ahead and move on. Those water drops that are content with the status quo and unable to rush will only become a stagnant pool. Dead water is dead, and the river ahead is living water. The ancients said: Born in sorrow, died in happiness. Even in the most comfortable situation, we don't forget the obstacles ahead. This is called being prepared for danger in times of peace.

Everyone has a world and needs to be prepared for danger in times of peace, because no one knows when it will suddenly collapse.
